Mason, Miss Frost Winthrop High School Orchestra One of the most important features during the school year has been the devel- opment of the orchestra under the efficient leadership of Miss Qrissa Frost. Each week we meet to enjoy playing together as well as to prepare musical numbers for various programs throughout the year. The orchestra played several selections before a large audience at the junior Prize Speaking Contest. VVe have also taken part in school assemblies. The orchestra is composed as follows: three violins played by Margret Jones, Robert lloutin, and Adrien Knovvltong two saxophones played by Russell Dra- peau and Norman Manwellq drummer, Leston Mason: and pianist, Floyd Smith. We have received many compliments and we feel that the orchestra is indeed a success. VVe certainly owe much of this success to our director, Miss Frost. Margaret jones, '53 S

Bell, R. Drapeau, G. Lee Sunset A lovely old house was set in the middle of an orange-red sunset. The path turned to the left before we reached this house, and as we walked, the house slowly moved from its background. VVhen I looked again T saw a glorious riot of blue and red and gold. The horizon appeared to be a-blaze. The flames were leaping upwards, their tongues of tire reaching greedily as if to devour the clouds along with the moun- tains. Pinkish tufts of smoke like fluffy cotton balls Hoated through the orange inferno. They twisted and turned roast- ing on some invisible grill. Then, as if some unseen hand had extinguished this towering bon-ire, the glowing coal sud- denly sank from sight, leaving behind the purple ashes of evening. Lee Ona Dakin, '3S.
